Sophie Cymone Bolla is a multi-media artist/educator currently living in New York, NY by way of Chicago, IL looking to create roots in her new home. She is currently the Visual Arts Teacher for grades K-5th at Classical Charter Schools in the South Bronx. She is also an artist in resident at the Con Artist Collective Studio and gallery space in the Lower East Side. During her residency she is working towards a variety of group shows that are allowing her to experiment with implementing collaboration into her current artisitic practice. Her art practice uses an array of mediums to conceptually and visually spark a challenge to the current ways societal systems archive affective data.

As a recent graduate from the School of Art Institute's Art Education program Sophie has been in various art education centric positions for the past four years both in and outside of her school's program. She sees the visual arts classroom as a space to cultivate mini-communities that learn critical problem-solving skills intra/interpersonally through artistic exploration. She values demonstrating to students the real world context of these skill through creating connection to how these thinking skills can be applied to various other systems of creation/implementation.
